Shouldn't Sn2 be bimolecular nucleophilic substitution second order?
yes. this SN2 reaction must be of bimolecular nucleophiclic substituion second order reaction.
[edit] Sn2 not necessarily second order
Sn2 has a bimolcular rate determining step, however this does not mean that Sn2 is always second order. For example the hydrolysis of TBC has Sn2 mechanism but is actually first order- water is of zero order and TBC is of first order so overall, reaction is first order.

[edit] Sn2'
Does someone want to be nice and write a section on Sn2' reactions so that I don't have to?
- Currently we only have a brief mention at Nucleophilic_substitution#Other_mechanisms. We would love for you to write such a piece on SN2' reactions! :) Walkerma (talk) 13:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
